Just an update and thanks for those responding to an ealier Thread on this, but there's no Front Projector in the future for me.

I got to view a quality projector and found out these really do need darkness for them to "shine". Any ambient light will wash the picture out.... I don't have a basement and most viewing will have some room light.

Now it's time to look into a 62 inch Rear Projection TV... :D
 
Rear projection are very crap, if you leave it on a channel for a long time and it has a logo in the corner it can actually burn into the screnn, and leave a logo shaped mark there.

Are you serious?? I have to look into that one..... I don't want that happening!
:eek:

EDIT..

I should have mentioned I'm looking into the newer DLP type Projector.

After further research, it's the CRT Rear Projectors that can burn the screen, not LCD or DLP Rear Projectors. Even Plasma TV's can burn.

;)

DLP or LCD types are the only way to go at this time... :cool:
 
Its the LCD, my mate has a 49" and it happened, plus the TV is crap quality but DVD is immense...

Maybe they have got some newer ones that have overcome the problem though
 
Maybe... If you go to the airport, the CNN label is burned into the TVs... Also at Wal-Mart, their plasma TVs (over the bananas to keep them entertained :D) have the Wal-Mart sign and smiley face guy burned.
 
Burn In

"Screen burn-in can damage displays that rely on a phosphor coating on the screen — plasma TVs and rear-projection CRT-based TVs are the most vulnerable to burn-in, and it's less likely, but possible with direct-view CRT TVs. Burn-in can occur when a static image such as a video game, stock or news ticker, or station logo remains on-screen for an extended period. Over time, these images can become etched into the phosphor coating, leaving faint but permanent impressions on-screen. The chance of burn-in can be reduced or eliminated by properly adjusting a display's brightness and contrast settings."

but CRTs potentially have the best image quality...

Its a tradeoff.
Are you referring to "Rear Projection TV" ?
Trying to understand....
